Sorry for spamming the thread with JJ Lin stuff XD I'm really looking forward to this collaboration.

This particular source also says that JJ will not be singing the song. He will only be in the PV.
"兩人沒合唱，僅會合拍MV。"

Oh... I saw that but didn't say anything since I wasn't sure at all of the translation...
I'm already less excited lol But it's still great that she also invited him in the PV. Thank you for pointing this out!!!

Well, I hope they fix the mixing of her voice on this album. Her last few albums have sounded like trash in part because her singing isn't well-mixed with the production. Seriously... listen to albums like Secret vs something like Colours. She just sounds more disconnected from the backing track on Colours, which makes the songs seem less inviting.

About the thing "China is big enough", I was just saying what I've seen in interviews given by Taiwanese artists (I know, they're not representing all C-Pop singers but still), that they had no intention to debut overseas (as in the U.S) since China was a market big enough for them >_<

China is also not completely free to express artistic expression to some extent. Also look at what ayu has to do when she tours over there last. She had to censor some of her screeners.

I didn't expect this title but I love the mystery comes with it.

Maybe its more of a sign of quality of music america does. Colours was done mainly in and by american composers and Secret was all done in and by Japanese composers. But Colours had a lot of input from the US. A ONE is back to using her good Japanese composers, so it should show in this album. But she is an artist continently evolving her music. She will never have a same exactly sounding album to what shed already done in the past

[truehappiness]

I think she had fun with Colours and it showed. (PVs were just her and dancers really, produced by A group or something) She made some nice tracks for it and now she's going back to what she usually does.

[ayujarl]

if A somehow means Asia, then Ayu may have more collab with other artists from Asia?
can't wait to listen to The Gift and see the PV~!

[//ABEST]

i don't enjoy JJ's voice at all. their performance was kinda painful to watch

iirc wasn't there rumors about 'The Gift' when we were waiting track list for Zutto... / Last minute / Walk?

[pepper]

Still, without a duet, I'm sure it will be a ballad ~_~
ew.

[pepper]

Omg and I had a dream that this album had 3-4 remixed tracks from Colours and only 3 new songs and everyone was like EWWWWWWWWW. And 2 PV's was also from Colours XD Terminal and Hello new me XD

[ayu-michan]

I think we should all celebrate the fact that the PV is going to be in Tokyo.

[Aderianu]

@ayuangel_news : Ayu is recording "A Gift" a song composed by JJ Lin! あゆ、JJの台北公演でコラボ曲の製作を発表
@ayu_19980408 : It's called ' The GIFT ' RT

[ayu-michan]

^ Lmaooooooooooo

[Linza-mo]

I spit out my coffee when I saw my mistake, I'm so obsessed with "A" something! it's seems I'm really tired this week (and that I give you a stick to beat me with haha=D)

[Isicio]

So one of the 2 new PV is The GIFT?

[truehappiness]

Yep.
